Chapter 407 All kinds of strange looks are people's hearts
"I found a strange stone in the Youyan area, and I am preparing to present it to His Majesty."
The three people present were all stunned when they heard this. Zhong Shidao held the tea cup in his hand, stopped in mid-air, and stared at Yang Lin. The latter looked smug and pleased with himself: "This
The stone is no worse than the strange stones of Taihu Lake, I believe His Majesty will definitely like it."
Cai Jing was uncertain about Yang Lin's thoughts, and the Zhong brothers were already cursing in their hearts: Are you sick? Hua Shi Gang almost turned Jiangnan upside down, and now you want to do it again?
After all, there is a canal for transporting the strange stones in Taihu Lake. The roads in Youyan in the north are different. If you really aroused the emperor's interest, it would be another unnecessary extravagance that wastes people and money for no reason.
Zhongshidao said in a deep voice: "In the barren land of the north, where can you grow good stones? Let's forget about it. Besides, the roads in the north are blocked, so even if there are strange stones, it will be difficult to transport them to Bianliang. On this way, I am afraid that
It will make life miserable for the people along the way and cause big troubles, which is not a joke."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "This matter must be considered in the long run. We must not report it to His Majesty, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver."
Everyone present knew Zhao Ji's temper. It was strange that he would let him go if he encountered a stone he liked. Yang Lin didn't take it seriously and seemed not to understand. He just said with a smile: "Isn't it just a canal? It should be noted that the south is originally
There is no canal, just dig one. We ministers must never forget His Majesty. Your Majesty is our king, and we must devote all our energy and wisdom to serving him."
The three people present had the same thought in their minds: Are you sick?
When we just talked about the Youyan War, he was obviously a normal official in the imperial court, but why did he suddenly become a fool? Cai Jing knew that Yang Lin must have a deep meaning, but he couldn't see the clues at the moment. He didn't want the brothers of the Zhong family to rush to argue, but to watch with cold eyes.
, I hope Yang Lin can take the initiative to reveal his purpose.
Little did he know that Yang Lin's purpose had long been revealed, which was to straighten the canal. This was neither a means nor a process, this was the result Yang Lin wanted. Straighten the canal and then develop Hebei and Shandong.
No matter how hard Cai Jing thinks, he will never think that Yang Lin is really doing it for the country and the people. In his opinion, Yang Lin is the same kind of person as himself and will not do stupid things.
After the food and wine were served, no one was in the mood to use chopsticks anymore, even though Zhaodefang's chefs were very skilled and the food was delicious and tasty.
Master Zhongdao was the first to get up and said: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't bother Shaozai." Master Zhongzhong sighed and stomped away with his brother.
Cai Jing chuckled lightly and said, "Wenyuan, you may not be able to accomplish this."
"Try it."
"No need to try, I told you that you can't do it." After Cai Jing finished speaking, he stood up and left, patting Yang Lin on the shoulder before leaving.
The banquet broke up unhappily. Yang Lin looked at a table of exquisite dishes, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been decayed and formed its own set of outdated bureaucratic systems.
If you want to make a difference in this system, you have to think of ways that others don't dare to think of. The maids next to you saw the guests leaving unhappy, and the man was so depressed that they were all silent and did not dare to speak.
Yang Lin slammed the table, causing water to splash in the wine glass, and said, "Old Cai Jing, this is what I'm doing. I just want to see if it can work."
After saying that, he looked around and saw all the little beauties trembling with fear. Yang Lin immediately smiled, suppressed his sadness in his heart, and said loudly: "Come on, come on, they won't eat, we will eat. Sit down, I'll treat you to a drink today."
.”
At the end, the maids looked at each other and all went to see Xu Saiyue. She was a person close to Dalang. She had been here since he moved to this courtyard, and she was often favored.
Xu Saiyue raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile, and said hello: "Sisters, Da Lang is so generous, so don't be polite. We serve people all day long, so let's sit down and have a taste."
For a moment, the hall was full of laughter, words, and laughter—
In Genyue Shoushan, strange things happen frequently.
First, the two white deer sent by the Khitan ran away inexplicably in panic, and even jumped over the fence of the inner courtyard;
The goldfish in the artificial canal pond had its belly turned out and was completely dead;
In the middle of the night, palace residents often heard strange sounds, which were miserable and continuous.
The people in Genyue were panic-stricken. Several concubines came to the emperor every day to express their fears. Zhao Ji, who was so happy to take back You Yan, was also anxious.
Early this morning, Shun Rong Xu Sanhua came to the hall again. Zhou Jingqiu and Sister Wanyi Lin Yue came to the hall. They said they were so scared that they couldn't sleep well. Zhao Ji didn't have enough for each one, and he secretly wondered why they were all disturbed. He was here
But not?
In fact, he may not be ignorant of the beauty's thoughts, but Zhao Ji is a sentimental person, and of course he will not say anything with a straight face to ruin the scenery by taking advantage of the opportunity to entangle and compete for favors. The age of Zhao Ji's concubines can be found out, and many of them are ten years old.
The two of them entered the palace, and so did these people. Speaking of it, they were still children at heart. It was rare that this dog emperor was not too young, he was so fucking caring.
Zhao Ji was chatting and laughing with them when suddenly a palace maid ran in with her skirt in hand and gasped: "The official family is in trouble. The plaque of the Palace of Eternal Life suddenly fell down and injured the Queen!
"
Visions abounded and strange things continued, and Zhao Ji was really panicked. He was an extremely superstitious person. When there was a fire in the palace, he even ordered the border to stop the war, which almost ruined the good situation in the northwest.
Empress Zheng's status is so respected that she doesn't need to use this method to attract her attention like the others in her arms. In this large internal ban, no one can threaten Empress Zheng's status. She is now focused on making money, especially likes
The Xiulou who inquired about her brother-in-law wanted to discuss it with Yang Lin several times but was pushed away. She was so angry that she guarded her sister and scolded Yang Lin countless times.
Hearing that Empress Zheng was hit, Zhao Ji stood up hurriedly. He stood up so quickly that the petite sister Wanyi and Lin Yue even hung around his neck. This was so funny that the surrounding palace eunuchs did not dare to laugh.
Everyone lowered their heads and suppressed laughter when the sound came. Although there were many strange things in the palace, there was nothing harmful. Everyone was gossiping about it, but their hearts were filled with curiosity and gossip.
"This must be a warning from God, what should I do?" Zhao Ji clapped his hands anxiously, and Sister Lin Yue didn't come down. She was just like a kitten, clinging to him, making the people around her gnash their teeth with hatred.
, secretly scolding Hu Meizi.
A young chamberlain next to him, who belonged to Yang Jian, rolled his eyes and said: "Guan family, you have to ask Master Chiyang about this matter."
Zhao Ji was annoyed because he should have thought of it a long time ago when he woke up the dreamer.
